Questions to Ask When You Call
You're not expected to know this. These questions help you compare and avoid surprises.
“Can I see your General Price List?”
Federal law (FTC Funeral Rule) requires them to give you itemized pricing. You have every right to ask.
“Do you accept insurance assignment?”
This means they bill the insurance company directly. You don't pay thousands upfront and wait to be reimbursed.
“What's included vs. what's extra?”
Packages may not include everything. Ask about the casket, embalming, transportation, facility fees, and death certificate copies.
Know Your Rights
The FTC Funeral Rule protects you. Every funeral home must provide an itemized General Price List if you ask — in person or over the phone. You are never required to buy a package and can choose services individually. You also have the right to use a casket purchased elsewhere.

“Five stars isn’t enough to give this true God made company their well deserved accolades. When I tell you the service and all parties involved provided my family with the most respectful and caring service for my mother’s homegoing. They made is so much easier and to put the wishes of our family before their rules to accommodate us what nothing but a true act of God. How they handled my mother’s remains were remarkable. I have the utmost respect for Davenport and Harris and all their staff I will never forget! Thank you so much and I highly recommend them to you to entrust them with your loved one as they are spirit led and truly have the heart of God and I speak blessings upon blessing for their business and their personal lives.

“Today we laid my Aunt Sara Dates to rest and the Davenport & Harris Funeral service staff was professional, personable, and supportive of my grieving family. During the service they were ushers and the processional to the cemetery was all the rave. I have 35 years in law enforcement and the way the two officers handled that traffic which was heavy at times was AWESOME! The flashing lights and the sirens were used when needed. I mean not blaring until needed at the intersections. Great job deputies (Jefferson County Sheriff's Office). Thank you Davenport & Harris for your care.”
